A multi-sensor alarm is a device that integrates multiple types of sensors (e.g., smoke, heat, CO) into a single unit to detect various types of hazards and provide a more reliable and comprehensive warning system.

Smoke Sensors: Detect smoke particles from both fast-flaming and smoldering fires.

Heat Sensors: Detect rapid increases in temperature.

Carbon Monoxide Sensors: Detect the presence of CO gas, which is colorless and odorless.

Install multi-sensor alarms in areas where you would place standard smoke or CO alarms, such as in hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, and near kitchens (while ensuring they are placed where they won’t be set off by cooking fumes).

Multi-sensor alarms use a combination of sensors to detect smoke, heat, and CO. The alarm sounds if any of the sensors detect dangerous levels, providing a more comprehensive warning system.

Test your alarm monthly by pressing the test button until the alarm sounds to ensure all sensors and the alarm function correctly.
